Today , after 4 exhausting hours teaching a bunch of wild second graders, I gathered my strength and rushed to the press preview of this new exhibition dedicated to Andrea Pazienza, legendary comic books author and icon of a very specific period in the cultural history of Bologna, the late Seventies and early Eighties, the students revolts, the riots, the drugs, the rising of Dams college course and the explosion of a very local alternative culture. Despite a certain historical and geographical proximity, and unlike most of my peers, I always felt rather distant from the vibe represented by that specific milieu. There's something aggressive there that doesn't quite represent me, and the first two pictures kind of show it. Nevertheless, Pazienza and the exciting, contradictory times that he intensely lived and depicted in his works have cultural relevance and continue to fascinate people, especially nostalgics of a certain idea of Bologna, and I'd recommend to visit this small but important exhibition at beautiful Palazzo Albergati.
